Its beauty, early appearance, and fragrant blossoms, make it highly esleemed by all lovers of flowers ; like the Hyacinth or Narcissus it will blow within doors in a water-glass, but stronger in a small pot of sand, or sandy loam ; a few flowers will scent a whole apartment: it will also blossom in the open air, but requires warmth and shelter; it is propagated by offsets and seeds; the bed flowering roots are imported from Holland, they bear forcing well ; and hence this plant may be had to flower a full month or six weeks in succession. Parkinson remarks, that in his time (1629) it was very rare, and seldom bore flowers.
